                                            Jesus said, 
                                            "No-one who sets his hand to 
                                            the plough and then keeps turning 
                                            back 
                                            is fit for the Kingdom of God." 
                                            
                                            Luke 
                                            9:50  
                                            Why should any child of the Father 
                                              who has known the reality of His 
                                              love turn in his tracks or cease 
                                              following in the way? Yet many do 
                                              through unwillingness to accept 
                                              the discipline essential for progress, 
                                              or through sloth or self-will. And 
                                              some few who are called to special 
                                              work in the Father's children, though 
                                              bestowed with all that is necessary 
                                              to carry it through, look fearfully 
                                              at the depth of the waters beneath, 
                                              and their faith fails them.
                                            Let no-one who commits their way 
                                              to the Father in My saving love 
                                              and in the power of Our Holy Spirit 
                                              doubt that all is well for them 
                                              and for that which they are given 
                                              to undertake. Let no anxious thoughts 
                                              deflect their following in the way 
                                              that is being opened up before them. 
                                              But let them know and understand, 
                                              in the deepest parts of their mind 
                                              and spirit, that their progression 
                                              in that which they are given to 
                                              do and suffer must be matched with 
                                              ever-increasing commitment to the 
                                              Father's loving purpose and deepened 
                                              and more disciplined life in Me 
                                              through the light and power of Our 
                                              Holy Spirit.
